We offer multiple excellent solutions to treat your nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or age‑related near-vision loss (presbyopia).
Since the first LASIK procedure was performed in 1990, millions have had it worldwide. It is considered the safest elective procedure in all of medicine. Along with its excellent safety profile, it has an excellent success rate.
Clemson Eye owned and operated Spectrum Lasik from 2010 to 2015. With the opening of our new Visual Health & Surgery center in Greenville in 2016, we consolidated all our services under one name – Clemson Eye. With eye doctors in twelve locations, including our Lasik surgery suite at our Greenville – Pelham Road location, we are here to support you throughout the Upstate!
Our LASIK consultations are free. They take up to 60 minutes, include a comprehensive eye exam, and can be booked at any of our clinic locations.
Some centers offer older technology and possibly somewhat lower prices. But the newer technology we use solves problems that earlier technology simply can’t, such as dry eye, astigmatism, and night vision issues. Our eye surgeons use the best technology and techniques because it gives our patients the best visual results.
The ability to see better after laser vision correction at Clemson Eye has motivated patients to explore new opportunities personally and professionally.
Clemson Eye has been a leading provider of LASIK for Upstate residents for over 15 years. Our eye doctors and medical team provide our patients with the best experience, technology, and visual results possible.
Clemson Eye surgeons are American Board Certified Ophthalmologists and together have performed more than 50,000 LASIK, cataract, and microsurgical procedures. Our LASIK clinic is located in Greenville, but you can have your pre- and post-operative examinations at any of Clemson Eye’s convenient locations.
LASIK outcomes have been overwhelmingly positive. Most military patients see 20/20 or better after the procedure without corrective glasses or contact lenses, and the rate of complications has been very low.
In another study, 100% of pilots and other aircraft personnel from the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps who underwent custom (wavefront-guided) LASIK attained 20/20 uncorrected vision within two weeks after surgery.
When questioned about their satisfaction one month after surgery, 95 percent of these patients said the procedure made them more effective in their roles, and 100 percent said they would recommend LASIK to other aviators.

As a Pediatric Physician’s Assistant, glasses continued to get in the way of her work.
After having gone through with LASIK, Morgan feels that her job as a Physician’s Assistant is much easier and so much more fun interacting with the children!
“Seeing the leaves on the trees and the clouds in the sky I feel like really changed my perspective on the world, and the beauty that we get to see every day.”
Jeff could not function without the help of glasses or contacts. LASIK was something he had always considered at some point, but the process he was unsure of.
“The more I found out about LASIK and the reputation at Clemson Eye with success stories made me realize that this could actually be a possibility.”
“Thinking back to life before LASIK, I’m very thankful I don’t have to deal with that now, and I never want to go back!”
Our very own, Dr. Jordan Carlson explains how LASIK helped change his life both personally and professionally.
His everyday occupation consists of all things optics – lenses, lights, and reflections. Eliminating the factor of glasses and contacts made it a lot easier for him to not have to worry about his own sight and how it factors into his career as an optometrist.
“I truly do feel like I can better serve my patients now that I have better vision.”
As a Medical Esthetician, it is essential for Kendall to see very small things from extracting pores to treating vascular lesions. Glasses and contacts were an ongoing issue preventing Kendall to best serve her patients on a day-to-day basis.
LASIK with Clemson Eye was a life-changing experience for Kendall, and one that she says she will never forget.
“I can truly see and enjoy the environment around me in a way that I couldn’t before LASIK. Pretty much anyone you talk to who’s done it, their only regret is why they didn’t do it sooner!”
Contacts made Savannah’s eyes tired, which made her job as a dog breeder difficult. She was constantly having to stop and switch to her glasses to give her eyes rest.

“It was really important to me to get the personal and relatable element ahead of time…Dr. Riddle treated me like an individual person, and not just a number, which I thought was really special.”
The busyness of Madison’s day-to-day life distracted her from realizing that her sight needed attention. Not having worn glasses her whole life, she had to get used to that new routine.
“I didn’t really ever feel like myself in glasses, because I had never known a life with them.”
She soon realized LASIK was an option for her and never looked back.
“It’s so much better being able to enjoy life and the beauty of everything around you.”
